Week 3: Probabilistic nature of the measurement in Quantum Mechanics
This week, we get to delve into three more key postulates of quantum mechanics: measurement, the probabilistic nature of measurement outcomes, and wave function collapse. Then for fun, we look at some historic interpretations
How is the study week structured
The University of Sussex MSc in Quantum Technology Applications and Management course is organised into three segments: Explore, Apply, and Consolidate. Each week includes preparatory readings, live sessions/office hours, culminating in tasks and quizzes. Not to forget the marked assignments that vary per module. Here’s more details….and how I try and flex my week around…
Spin – intrinsic angular momentum
… “All I know is that to me; You look like you’re having fun; Open up your lovin’ arms; Watch out, here I come;….”
Week 2: The wave functions, operators and observables
In week 2, I’m learning about wave functions, observables, operators, and the first two postulates of quantum mechanics, aiming to describe quantum states, explain observables and operators, and use Dirac notation.
Module 1: Assignments – foundation of quantum mechanics module
The foundation of quantum theory module includes two challenging assignments with numerous math-heavy questions and one essay, testing knowledge comprehensively across the entire module.
Week 1: Language and tools of quantum mechanics
Excited for Week 1, which promises to explore the origins of quantum mechanics and introduce essential mathematical tools, conventions, and notations used in the field!
Module 1: Foundations of Quantum Mechanics
Exciting weeks ahead! My first MSc module will cover foundational topics in quantum mechanics, including wave functions, Schrödinger equation, and quantum entanglement, setting a strong base for future learning.
Ready to start!,
On a cosy September evening, I’m wrapping up a mountain hiking holiday and gearing up for work and my Masters in Quantum Technology Applications and Management. Excitingly, I’ll delve into the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, transitioning from a casual reader to a serious student…follow along with me!
